Re: How to do some additional process while saving a django flatpage

Well Daniel, I tried this but i am not able to see the function being called while saving any flatpage page. Is it possible to give me a step by step instruction on how to achieve the same? I read through the signals documents but i am kind of confused on where to include the signal related statements since the document do not give much details about it. I am still not able to completely understand the signal's system in django. So I would request for a step by step instruction, if its possible. Thanks

Regards,

Hi,

I am trying to build a menu system which can be controlled at the admin area. For the content management purpose i am using django flatpage. So when a page is getting saved i need to insert the page title and url in the menu table i have created. So i guess a flatpage signal is the best way to go, but after searching a lot i could not find any such signals available for flatpage. So which is the best approach to implement whatever i had described above. Thanks

You don't need a specific flatpages signal. You can just use the normal pre-save signal and attach the listener to flatpages only.

from django.db.models.signals import pre_save

from django.dispatch import receiver

from django.contrib.flatpages.models import FlatPage

@receiver(pre_save, sender=FlatPage)

def my_handler(sender, **kwargs):
